I was going through a rough time and I had my daughter go stay with her dad and we argued on a date that I could have her back and now he’s trying to keep her how do I go about getting her back ?

Child's father has allowed his mother to pick up, keep, and return the child on every Thursday dinner visit he's had, which is over a year now. He is now stating that he wants his mother to pick her up from school on those Thursday's. The paperwork says he has her from the time school lets out... Read more »
